FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is related to certain bridged chemical entities having MGL (monoacylglycerol lipase) modulating properties, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these chemical entities, chemical processes for preparing these chemical entities and their use in the treatment of diseases, disorders or conditions associated with MGL receptor activity in subjects, in particular humans.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cannabis Sativa and analogs of Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol have been used since the days of folk medicine for therapeutic purposes. The endocannabinoid system consists of two G-protein coupled receptors, cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) (Matsuda et al., Nature, 1990, 346, 561-4) and cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) (Munro et al., Nature, 1993, 365, 61-5). CB1 receptor is one of the most abundant G-protein coupled receptor expressed in the brain (Herkenam et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., 1990, 87 (5), 1932-1936). CB1 is also expressed peripherally in the liver, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, adipose tissue and skeletal muscles (Di Marzo et al., Curr Opin Lipidol, 2007, 18, 129-140). CB2 is predominantly expressed in immune cells such as monocytes (Pacher et al., Amer J Physiol, 2008, 294, H1133-H1134) and under certain conditions (inflammation) in the brain ((Benito et al., Brit J Pharmacol, 2008, 153, 277-285) and in skeletal (Cavuoto et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 2007, 364, 105-110) and cardiac muscles (Hajrasouliha et al., Eur J Pharmacol, 2008, 579, 246-252).

In 1992, N-arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA or anandamide) was found to be an endogenous ligand for cannabinoid receptors (Devane et al., Science, 1992, 258, 1946-9).

Subsequently, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) was also identified as an additional endogenous ligand for the cannabinoid receptors (Mechoulam et al., Biochem Pharmacol, 1995, 50, 83-90; Sugiura et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 1995, 215, 89-97). Concentrations of 2-AG were reported to be at least 100 times higher than these of anandamide in the rat brain (Buczynski and Parsons, Brit J Pharmacol, 2010, 160 (3), 423-42). Therefore 2-AG may play more essential physiological roles than anandamide in the brain endocannabinoid system (Sugiura et al. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids, 2002, February-March, 66(2-3):173-92). The endocannabinoid 2-AG is a full agonist for CB1 and CB2 receptors, while anandamide is a partial agonist for both receptors (Suguira et al., Prog Lipid Res, 2006, 45(5):405-46). Unlike many classical neurotransmitters, endocannabinoids signal through a retrograde mechanism. They are synthesized on demand in postsynaptic neurons and then rapidly degraded following binding to presynaptic cannabinoid receptors (Ahn et al., Chem Rev. 2008, 108(5):1687-707). Monoacylglycerol lipase (MGLL, also known as MAG lipase and MGL) is the serine hydrolase responsible for the degradation of 2-AG into arachidonic acid and glycerol in the central nervous system (Mechoulam et al., Biochem Pharmacol, 1995, 50, 83-90; Sugiura et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 1995, 215, 89-97; Long et al., Nat Chem Biol. 2009 January; 5(1):37-44;), Schlosburg et al, Nat Neurosci., 2010, September; 13(9):1113-9) and peripheral tissues (Long et al., Chem Biol., 2009 Jul. 31; 16(7):744-53). Anandamide is hydrolyzed by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (Piomelli, Nat Rev Neurosci, 2003, 4, 873-884). MGL exists in both soluble and membrane bound forms (Dinh et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA., 2002, Aug. 6; 99(16):10819-24). In the brain MGL is located in presynaptic neurons (Straiker et al., Mol Pharmacol., 2009, December; 76(6):1220-7) and astrocytes (Walter et al., J Neurosci., 2004, Sep. 15; 24(37):8068-74) within regions associated with high CB1 receptor density. Compared to wild-type controls, genetic ablation of MGL expression produces 10-fold increase in brain 2-AG levels without affecting anandamide concentration (Schlosburg et al., Nat Neurosci., 2010, September; 13(9):1113-9).

Thus, MGL modulation offers an interesting strategy for potentiating the cannabinoid system. The primary advantage of this approach is that only brain regions where endocannabinoids are actively produced will be modulated, potentially minimizing the side effects associated with exogenous CB1 agonists. Pharmacological inactivation of MGL by covalent inhibitors in animals increase 2-AG content in brain and peripheral tissues and has been found to produce antinociceptive, anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory effects that are dependent on CB1 and/or CB2 receptors (Long et al., Nat Chem Biol., 2009, January, 5(1):37-44; Ghosh et al., Life Sci., 2013, Mar. 19, 92(8-9):498-505; Bedse et al., Biol Psychiatry., 2017, Oct. 1, 82(7):488-499; Bernal-Chico et al., Glia., 2015, January, 63(1):163-76; Patel et al. Neurosci Biobehav Rev., 2017, May, 76(Pt A):56-66; Betse et al., Transl Psychiatry., 2018, Apr. 26, 8(1):92). In addition to the role of MGL in terminating 2-AG signaling, MGL modulation, including MGL inhibition also promotes CB1/2-independent effects on neuroinflammation (Nomura et al., Science., 2011, Nov. 11; 334(6057):809-13. MGL modulation, including MGL inhibition leads to reduction in proinflammatory prostanoid signaling in animal models of traumatic brain injury (Katz et al., J Neurotrauma., 2015, Mar. 1; 32(5):297-306; Zhang et al., J Cereb Blood Flow Metab., 2015, Mar. 31; 35(4):706), neurodegeneration including Alzheimer's disease (Piro et al., Cell Rep., 2012, Jun. 28, 1(6):617-23; Wenzel et al., Life Sci., 2018, Aug. 15, 207:314-322; Chen et al., Cell Rep., 2012, Nov. 29, 2(5):1329-39), Parkinson's disease (Nomura et al., Science, 2011, Nov. 11, 334(6057), 809-13;_Pasquarelli et al., Neurochem Int., 2017, November, 110:14-24), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Pasquarelli et al., Neuropharmacology, 2017, Sep. 15, 124:157-169), multiple sclerosis (Hernadez-Torres et al., Angew Chem Int Ed Engl., 2014, Dec. 8, 53(50):13765-70; Bernal-Chico et al., Glia., 2015, January, 63(1):163-76), Huntington's disease (Covey et al., Neuropsychopharmacology, 2018, 43, 2056-2063), Tourette syndrome and status epilepticus (Terrone et al., Epilepsia., 2018, January, 59(1), 79-91; von Ruden et al., Neurobiol Dis., 2015, May; 77:238-45).

Therefore, by potentiating the cannabinoid system and attenuating proinflammatory cascades, MGL modulation, including MGL inhibition offers a compelling therapeutic approach for the treatment of a vast array of complex diseases. Importantly, MGL modulation, including MGL inhibition in animals does not produces the full spectrum of neurobehavioral effects observed with Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol and other CB1 agonists (Tuo et al., J Med Chem., 2017, Jan. 12, 60(1), 4-46; Mulvihill et al., Life Sci., 2013, Mar. 19, 92(8-9), 492-7).

Endocannabinoid hypoactivity is a risk factor for the treatment of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorders. Millennia of human use of Cannabis sativa, and a brief period in which humans were treated with the endocannabinoid antagonist, rimonabant, provide support for that hypothesis. 2-AG levels are decreased in individuals with major depression (Hill et al., Pharmacopsychiatry., 2008, March; 41(2): 48-53; Hill et al., Psychoneuroendocrinology., 2009, September; 34(8): 1257-1262). Low circulating 2-AG levels predict rates of depression (Hauer et al., Rev Neurosci., 2012, 23(5-6):681-90). Reduced circulating 2-AG has been found in patient with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Hill et al., Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2013, 38 (12), 2952-2961). Healthy volunteers exposed to chronic stressors exhibited progressively diminished circulating 2-AG levels which correlated with the onset of reductions in measures of positive emotions (Yi et al., Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 2016, 67 (3), 92-97). The CB1 receptor inverse agonist/antagonist Rimonabant has been withdrawn from the market due to the high incidence of severe depression and suicidal ideation (Christensen et al., The Lancet, 2007, 370, 1706-1713). Therefore, MGL modulators are potentially useful for the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety and PTSD.

Cannabinoid receptor agonists are clinically used to treat pain, spasticity, emesis and anorexia (Di Marzo, et al., Annu Rev Med., 2006, 57:553-74; Ligresti et al., Curr Opin Chem Biol., 2009, June; 13(3):321-31). Therefore, MGL modulators, including MGL inhibitors are also potentially useful for these indications. MGL exerts CB1-dependant antinociceptive effects in animal models of noxious chemical, inflammatory, thermal and neuropathic pain (Guindon et al., Br J Pharmacol., 2011, August; 163(7):1464-78; Kinsey et al., J Pharmacol Exp Ther., 2009, September; 330(3):902-10; Long et al., Nat Chem Biol., 2009, January; 5(1):37-44). MGL blockade reduces mechanical and acetone induced cold allodynia in mice subjected to chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve (Kinsey et al., J Pharmacol Exp Ther., 2009, September; 330(3):902-10). MGL inhibition produces opiate-sparing events with diminished tolerance, constipation, and cannabimimetic side effects (Wilkerson et al., J Pharmacol Exp Ther., 2016, April; 357(1):145-56). MGL blockade is protective in model of inflammatory bowel disease (Alhouayek et al., FASEB J., 2011, August; 25(8):2711-21). MGL inhibition also reverse Paclitaxel-induced nociceptive behavior and proinflammatory markers in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy (Curry et al., J Pharmacol Exp Ther., 2018, July; 366(1):169-18). MGL inhibitors are also potentially useful for the treatment of chronic inflammatory condition of the urinary bladder like interstitial cystitis (Chinnadurai et al., Med Hypotheses 2019, October; 131: 109321).

Inhibition of 2-AG hydrolysis exerts anti-proliferative activity and reduction in prostate cancer cell invasiveness (Nithipatikom et al., Cancer Res., 2004, Dec. 15, 64(24):8826-30; Nithipatikom et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun., 2005, Jul. 15,332(4):1028-33; Nithipatikom et al., Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediat., 2011, February, 94(1-2):34-43). MGL is upregulated in aggressive human cancer cells and primary tumors where it has a unique role of providing lipolytic sources of free fatty acids for synthesis of oncogenic signaling lipids that promote cancer aggressiveness. Thus, beyond the physiological roles of MGL in mediated endocannabinoid signaling, MGL in cancer plays a distinct role in modulating the fatty acid precursor pools for synthesis of protumorigenic signaling lipids in malignant human cancer cells.

MGL blockade shows anti-emetic and anti-nausea effects in a lithium chloride model of vomiting in shrews (Sticht et al., Br J Pharmacol., 2012, April, 165(8):2425-35).

MGL modulators, including MGL inhibitors may have utility in modulating drug dependence of opiates. MGL blockade reduce the intensity of naloxone-precipitated morphine withdrawal symptoms in mice. MGL blockade also attenuated spontaneous withdrawal signs in morphine-dependent mice (Ramesh et al., J Pharmacol Exp Ther., 2011, October, 339(1):173-85).

MGL modulators are also potentially useful for the treatment of eye conditions, including but not limited to, glaucoma and disease states arising from elevated intraocular pressure (Miller et al., Pharmaceuticals, 2018, 11, 50).

Any formula given herein is intended to represent compounds having structures depicted by the structural formula as well as certain variations or forms. In particular, compounds of any formula given herein may have asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different enantiomeric forms. All optical isomers and stereoisomers of the compounds of the general formula, and mixtures thereof, are considered within the scope of such formula. The compounds of this invention may possess one or more asymmetric centers; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or (S)-stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Thus, any formula given herein is intended to represent a racemate, one or more of its enantiomeric forms, one or more of its diastereomeric forms, and mixtures thereof. Additionally, any formula given herein is intended to refer also to any one of hydrates, solvates, polymorphs and of such compounds, and mixtures thereof, even if such forms are not listed explicitly.

The term “R” at a stereocenter designates that the stereocenter is purely of the R-configuration as defined in the art; likewise, the term “S” means that the stereocenter is purely of the S-configuration. As used herein, the term “RS” refers to a stereocenter that exists as a mixture of the R- and S-configurations.

Compounds containing one stereocenter drawn without a stereo bond designation are a mixture of 2 enantiomers. Compounds containing 2 stereocenters both drawn without stereo bond designations are a mixture of 4 diastereomers. Compounds with 2 stereocenters both labeled “RS” and drawn with stereo bond designations are a 2-component mixture with relative stereochemistry as drawn. Unlabeled stereocenters drawn without stereo bond designations are a mixture of the R- and S-configurations. For unlabeled stereocenters drawn with stereo bond designations, the absolute stereochemistry is as depicted.

Reference to a compound herein stands for a reference to any one of: (a) the actually recited form of such compound, and (b) any of the forms of such compound in the medium in which the compound is being considered when named. For example, reference herein to a compound such as R—COOH, encompasses reference to any one of, for example, R—COOH(s), R—COOH(sol), and R—COO-(sol). In this example, R—COOH(s) refers to the solid compound, as it could be for example in a tablet or some other solid pharmaceutical composition or preparation; R—COOH(sol) refers to the undissociated form of the compound in a solvent; and R—COO-(sol) refers to the dissociated form of the compound in a solvent, such as the dissociated form of the compound in an aqueous environment, whether such dissociated form derives from R—COOH, from a salt thereof, or from any other entity that yields R—COO— upon dissociation in the medium being considered. In another example, an expression such as “exposing an entity to compound of formula R—COOH” refers to the exposure of such entity to the form, or forms, of the compound R—COOH that exists, or exist, in the medium in which such exposure takes place. In still another example, an expression such as “reacting an entity with a compound of formula R—COOH” refers to the reacting of (a) such entity in the chemically relevant form, or forms, of such entity that exists, or exist, in the medium in which such reacting takes place, with (b) the chemically relevant form, or forms, of the compound R—COOH that exists, or exist, in the medium in which such reacting takes place. In this regard, if such entity is for example in an aqueous environment, it is understood that the compound R—COOH is in such same medium, and therefore the entity is being exposed to species such as R—COOH(aq) and/or R—COO-(aq), where the subscript “(aq)” stands for “aqueous” according to its conventional meaning in chemistry and biochemistry. A carboxylic acid functional group has been chosen in these nomenclature examples; this choice is not intended, however, as a limitation but it is merely an illustration. It is understood that analogous examples can be provided in terms of other functional groups, including but not limited to hydroxyl, basic nitrogen members, such as those in amines, and any other group that interacts or transforms according to known manners in the medium that contains the compound. Such interactions and transformations include, but are not limited to, dissociation, association, tautomerism, solvolysis, including hydrolysis, solvation, including hydration, protonation, and deprotonation. No further examples in this regard are provided herein because these interactions and transformations in a given medium are known by any one of ordinary skill in the art.

Any formula given herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopicallylabeled forms of the compounds. Isotopicallylabeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number in an enriched form. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention in a form that exceeds natural abundances include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as ²H (or chemical symbol D), ³H (or chemical symbol T), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸O, ¹⁷O ³¹P, ³²P, 35S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, and ¹²⁵I, respectively. Such isotopicallylabelled compounds are useful in metabolic studies (preferably with ¹⁴C), reaction kinetic studies (with, for example ²H or ³H), detection or imaging techniques [such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)] including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in radioactive treatment of patients. In particular, an ¹⁸F or ¹¹C labeled compound may be particularly preferred for PET or SPECT studies. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., ²H, or D) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Isotopicallylabeled compounds of this invention can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopicallylabeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.

When referring to any formula given herein, the selection of a particular moiety from a list of possible species for a specified variable is not intended to define the same choice of the species for such variable appearing elsewhere. In other words, where a variable appears more than once, the choice of the species from a specified list is independent of the choice of the species for the same variable elsewhere in the formula, unless stated otherwise.

The term Cn-m alkyl refers to an aliphatic chain, whether straight or branched, with a total number N of carbon members in the chain that satisfies n≤N≤m, with m>n.

When the same plurality of substituents is assigned to various groups, the specific individual substituent assignment to each of such groups is meant to be independently made with respect to the specific individual substituent assignments to the remaining groups. By way of illustration, but not as a limitation, if each of groups Q and R can be H or F, the choice of H or F for Q is made independently of the choice of H or F for R, so the choice of assignment for Q does not determine or condition the choice of assignment for R, or vice-versa, unless it is expressly indicated otherwise. Illustrative claim recitation in this regard would read as “each of Q and R is independently H or F”, or “each of Q and R is independently selected from the group consisting of H and F”.

Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art.

In another example, a zwitterionic compound would be encompassed herein by referring to a compound that is known to form a zwitterion, even if it is not explicitly named in its zwitterionic form. Terms such as zwitterion, zwitterions, and their synonyms zwitterionic compound(s) are standard IUPAC-endorsed names that are well known and part of standard sets of defined scientific names. In this regard, the name zwitterion is assigned the name identification CHEBI.27369 by the Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) dictionary of molecular entities. As generally well known, a zwitterion or zwitterionic compound is a neutral compound that has formal unit charges of opposite sign. Sometimes these compounds are referred to by the term “inner salts”. Other sources refer to these compounds as “dipolar ions”, although the latter term is regarded by still other sources as a misnomer. As a specific example, aminoethanoic acid (the amino acid glycine) has the formula H₂NCH₂COOH, and it exists in some media (in this case in neutral media) in the form of the zwitterion ⁺H₃NCH₂COO⁻. Zwitterions, zwitterionic compounds, inner salts and dipolar ions in the known and well-established meanings of these terms are within the scope of this invention, as would in any case be so appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art. Because there is no need to name each and every embodiment that would be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art, no structures of the zwitterionic compounds that are associated with the compounds of this invention are given explicitly herein. They are, however, part of the embodiments of this invention. No further examples in this regard are provided herein because the interactions and transformations in a given medium that lead to the various forms of a given compound are known by any one of ordinary skill in the art.

When referring to any formula given herein, the selection of a particular moiety from a list of possible species for a specified variable is not intended to define the same choice of the species for the variable appearing elsewhere. In other words, where a variable appears more than once, the choice of the species from a specified list is independent of the choice of the species for the same variable elsewhere in the formula, unless stated otherwise.

By way of a first example on substituent terminology, if substituent S¹ _(example) is one of S₁ and S₂, and substituent S² _(example) is one of S₃ and S₄, then these assignments refer to embodiments of this invention given according to the choices S¹ _(example) is S₁ and S² _(example) is S₃; S¹ _(example) is S₁ and S² _(example) is S₄; S¹ _(example) is S₂ and S² _(example) is S₃; S¹ _(example) is S₂ and S² _(example) is S₄; and equivalents of each one of such choices. The shorter terminology “S¹ _(example) is one of S₁ and S₂, and S² _(example) is one of S₃ and S₄” is accordingly used herein for the sake of brevity, but not by way of limitation. The foregoing first example on substituent terminology, which is stated in generic terms, is meant to illustrate the various substituent assignments described herein.

Furthermore, when more than one assignment is given for any member or substituent, embodiments of this invention comprise the various groupings that can be made from the listed assignments, taken independently, and equivalents thereof. By way of a second example on substituent terminology, if it is herein described that substituent S_(example) is one of S₁, S₂, and S₃, this listing refers to embodiments of this invention for which S_(example) is S₁; S_(example) is S₂; S_(example) is S₃; S_(example) is one of S₁ and S₂; S_(example) is one of S₁ and S₃; S_(example) is one of S₂ and S₃; S_(example) is one of S₁, S₂ and S₃; and S_(example) is any equivalent of each one of these choices. The shorter terminology “S_(example) is one of S₁, S₂, and S₃” is accordingly used herein for the sake of brevity, but not by way of limitation. The foregoing second example on substituent terminology, which is stated in generic terms, is meant to illustrate the various substituent assignments described herein.

The nomenclature “C_(i)-C_(j)” with j>i, when applied herein to a class of substituents, is meant to refer to embodiments of this invention for which each and every one of the number of carbon members, from i to j including i and j, is independently realized. By way of example, the term C₁-C₃ refers independently to embodiments that have one carbon member (C₁), embodiments that have two carbon members (C₂), and embodiments that have three carbon members (C₃).

A “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” is intended to mean a salt of an acid or base of a compound represented by Formula (I) (as well as compounds of Formula (II)) that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, or otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. See, generally, S. M. Berge, et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66:1-19, and Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts, Properties, Selection, and Use, Stahl and Wermuth, Eds., Wiley-VCH and VHCA, Zurich, 2002. Preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those that are pharmacologically effective and suitable for contact with the tissues of patients without undue toxicity, irritation, or allergic response.

A compound of Formula (I) (as well as compounds of Formula (II)) may possess a sufficiently acidic group, a sufficiently basic group, or both types of functional groups, and accordingly react with a number of inorganic or organic bases, and inorganic and organic acids, to form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, phosphates, monohydrogen-phosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, propionates, decanoates, caprylates, acrylates, formates, isobutyrates, caproates, heptanoates, propiolates, oxalates, malonates, succinates, suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, butyne-1,4-dioates, hexyne-1,6-dioates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, hydroxybenzoates, methoxybenzoates, phthalates, sulfonates, xylenesulfonates, phenylacetates, phenylpropionates, phenylbutyrates, citrates, lactates, γ-hydroxybutyrates, glycolates, tartrates, methane-sulfonates, propanesulfonates, naphthalene-1-sulfonates, naphthalene-2-sulfonates, and mandelates.

Compounds of Formula (I) (as well as compounds of Formula (II)) may contain at least one nitrogen of basic character, so desired pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, nitric acid, boric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, phenylacetic acid, propionic acid, stearic acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, isethionic acid, succinic acid, valeric acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, lauric acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as mandelic acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid, 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, naphthoic acid, or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as laurylsulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, any compatible mixture of acids such as those given as examples herein, and any other acid and mixture thereof that are regarded as equivalents.

Compounds of Formula (I) (as well as compounds of Formula (II)) may contain a carboxylic acid moiety, a desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base, such as an amine (primary, secondary or tertiary), an alkali metal hydroxide, alkaline earth metal hydroxide, any compatible mixture of bases such as those given as examples herein, and any other base and mixture thereof that are regarded as equivalents or acceptable substitutes in light of the ordinarylevel of skill in this technology. Illustrative examples of suitable salts include organic salts derived from amino acids, such as glycine and arginine, ammonia, carbonates, bicarbonates, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, and cyclic amines, such as benzylamines, pyrrolidines, piperidine, morpholine, piperazine, N-methyl-glucamine and tromethamine and inorganic salts derived from sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, and lithium.

The compounds of the invention, including their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, whether alone or in combination, (collectively, “active agent” or “active agents”) of the present invention are useful as MGL-modulators in the methods of the invention. Such methods for modulating MGL comprise the use of a therapeutically effective amount of at least one chemical entity of the invention.

In some embodiments, the MGL modulator is an inhibitor and is used in a subject diagnosed with or suffering from a disease, disorder, or condition associated with MGL receptor activity, such as those described herein. Symptoms or disease states are intended to be included within the scope of “disease, disorders or conditions.”

Accordingly, the invention relates to methods of using the active agents described herein to treat subjects diagnosed with or suffering from a disease, disorder, or condition associated with the MGL receptor activity. The term “treat” or “treating” as used herein is intended to refer to administration of an active agent or composition of the invention to a subject for the purpose of effecting a therapeutic or prophylactic benefit through modulation of MGL receptor activity. Treating includes reversing, ameliorating, alleviating, inhibiting the progress of, lessening the severity of, or preventing a disease, disorder, or condition, or one or more symptoms of such disease, disorder or condition associated with the MGL modulation. The term “subject” refers to a mammalian patient in need of such treatment, such as a human.

The term “composition” refers to a product that includes the specified ingredients in therapeutically effective amounts, as well as any product that results, directly, or indirectly, from combinations of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts.

The term “MGL inhibitor” is intended to encompass a compound that interacts with MGL to substantially reduce or eliminate its catalytic activity, thereby increasing the concentrations of its substrate(s). The term “MGL-modulated” is used to refer to the condition of being affected by the modulation of the MGL enzyme including the condition of being affected by the inhibition of the MGL enzyme. The disclosure is directed to methods for treating, ameliorating and/or preventing diseases, conditions, or disorders associated with pain (including inflammatory pain), and also psychiatric disorders, neurological disorders, cancers and eye conditions by the administration of therapeutically effective amounts of MGL modulators to subjects in need thereof.

The term “modulators” include both inhibitors and activators, where “inhibitors” refer to compounds that decrease, prevent, inactivate, desensitize, or down-regulate the MGL expression or activity, and “activators” are compounds that increase, activate, facilitate, sensitize, or up-regulate MGL expression or activity.

As used herein, unless otherwise noted, the term “affect” or “affected” (when referring to a disease, condition or disorder that is affected by inhibition of MGL) includes a reduction in the frequency and/or severity of one or more symptoms or manifestations of said disease, condition or disorder; and/or include the prevention of the development of one or more symptoms or manifestations of said disease, condition or disorder or the development of the disease, condition or disorder.

In treatment methods according to the invention, a therapeutically effective amount of at least one active agent according to the invention is administered to a subject suffering from or diagnosed as having such a disease, disorder, or condition. A “therapeutically effective amount” means an amount or dose sufficient to generally bring about the desired therapeutic or prophylactic benefit in subjects in need of such treatment for the designated disease, disorder, or condition. Effective amounts or doses of the active agents of the present invention may be ascertained by routine methods such as modeling, dose escalation studies or clinical trials, and by taking into consideration routine factors, e.g., the mode or route of administration or drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of the agent, the severity and course of the disease, disorder, or condition, the subject's previous or ongoing therapy, the subject's health status and response to drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician. For a 70-kg human, an illustrative range for a suitable dosage amount is from about 1 to 1000 mg/day in single or multiple dosage units (e.g., BID, TID, QID or as required by modality).

Once improvement of the subject's disease, disorder, or condition has occurred, the dose may be adjusted for preventive or maintenance treatment. For example, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect is maintained. Of course, if symptoms have been alleviated to an appropriate level, treatment may cease. Subjects may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms.

In addition, the compounds of the invention are envisaged for use alone, in combination with one or more of other compounds of this invention, or in combination with additional active ingredients in the treatment of the conditions discussed below. The additional active ingredients may be co-administered separately with at least one compound of the invention, with active agents of the invention or included with such an agent in a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention. In an illustrative embodiment, additional active ingredients are those that are known or discovered to be effective in the treatment of conditions, disorders, or diseases associated with the MGL modulation, such as another MGL inhibitor or a compound active against another target associated with the particular condition, disorder, or disease. The combination may serve to increase efficacy (e.g., by including in the combination a compound potentiating the potency or effectiveness of an agent according to the invention), decrease one or more side effects, or decrease the required dose of the active agent according to the invention.

When referring to inhibiting the target, an “effective amount” means an amount sufficient to affect MGL modulation.

The active agents of the invention are envisaged for use, alone or in combination with one or more additional active ingredients, to formulate pharmaceutical compositions of the invention. A pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises a therapeutically effective amount of at least one active agent in accordance with the invention.

Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients commonly used in pharmaceutical compositions are substances that are non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to a subject, such as an inert substance, added to a pharmacological composition or otherwise used as a vehicle, carrier, or diluent to facilitate administration of an agent and that is compatible therewith. Examples of such excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, vegetable oils, and polyethylene glycols.

Delivery forms of the pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more dosage units of the active agents may be prepared using pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and compounding techniques known or that become available to those of ordinary skill in the art. The compositions may be administered in the inventive methods by a suitable route of delivery, e.g., oral, parenteral, rectal, topical, or ocular routes, or by inhalation.

The preparation may be in the form of tablets, capsules, sachets, dragees, powders, granules, lozenges, powders for reconstitution, liquid preparations, or suppositories. The compositions may be formulated for any one of a plurality of administration routes, such as intravenous infusion, topical administration, or oral administration. Preferably, the compositions may be formulated for oral administration.

For oral administration, the active agents of the invention can be provided in the form of tablets or capsules, or as a solution, emulsion, or suspension. To prepare the oral compositions, the active agents may be formulated to yield a dosage of, e.g., for a 70-kg human, an illustrative range for a suitable dosage amount is from about 1 to 1000 mg/day in single or multiple dosage units.

Oral tablets may include the active ingredient(s) mixed with compatible pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as diluents, disintegrating agents, binding agents, lubricating agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preservative agents. Suitable inert fillers include sodium and calcium carbonate, sodium and calcium phosphate, lactose, starch, sugar, glucose, methyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, mannitol, sorbitol, and the like. Exemplaryliquid oral excipients include ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Starch, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP), sodium starch glycolate, microcrystalline cellulose, and alginic acid are exemplary disintegrating agents. Binding agents may include starch and gelatin. The lubricating agent, if present, may be magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. If desired, the tablets may be coated with a material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate to delay absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, or may be coated with an enteric coating.

Capsules for oral administration include hard and soft gelatin or (hydroxypropyl)methyl cellulose capsules. To prepare hard gelatin capsules, active ingredient(s) may be mixed with a solid, semi-solid, or liquid diluent. Liquids for oral administration may be in the form of suspensions, solutions, emulsions or syrups or may be lyophilized or presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid compositions may optionally contain: pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients such as suspending agents (for example, sorbitol, methyl cellulose, sodium alginate, gelatin, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, aluminum stearate gel and the like); non-aqueous vehicles, e.g., oil (for example, almond oil or fractionated coconut oil), propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, or water; preservatives (for example, methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid); wetting agents such as lecithin; and, if desired, flavoring or coloring agents.

The active agents of this invention may also be administered by non-oral routes. For example, compositions may be formulated for rectal administration as a suppository, enema or foam. For parenteral use, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous routes, the agents of the invention may be provided in sterile aqueous solutions or suspensions, buffered to an appropriate pH and isotonicity or in parenterally acceptable oil. Suitable aqueous vehicles include Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride. Such forms may be presented in unit-dose form such as ampules or disposable injection devices, in multi-dose forms such as vials from which the appropriate dose may be withdrawn, or in a solid form or pre-concentrate that can be used to prepare an injectable formulation. Illustrative infusion doses range from about 1 to 1000 μg/kg/minute of agent admixed with a pharmaceutical carrier over a period ranging from several minutes to several days.

For topical administration, the agents may be mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier at a concentration of about 0.01% to about 20% of drug to vehicle, preferably 0.1% to 10%. Another mode of administering the agents of the invention may utilize a patch formulation to affect transdermal delivery.

Active agents may alternatively be administered in methods of this invention by inhalation, via the nasal or oral routes, e.g., in a spray formulation also containing a suitable carrier.

In a further embodiment, the invention is directed to a method of treating a subject suffering from or diagnosed with a disease, disorder, or condition associated with MGL modulation, comprising administering to the subject in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of the active agent.

Biological Data

The assay used to measure the in vitro activity of MGL is adapted from the assay used for another serine hydrolase (FAAH) described in Wilson et al., 2003 (A high-throughput-compatible assay for determining the activity of fatty acid amide hydrolase. Wilson S J, Lovenberg T W, Barbier A J. Anal Biochem. 2003 Jul. 15; 318(2):270-5). The assay consists of combining endogenously expressed MGL from HeLa cells with test compounds, adding [glycerol-1,3-³H]-oleoyl glycerol, incubating for one hour, and then measuring the amount of cleaved [1,3-³H]-glycerol that passes through an activated carbon filter. The amount of cleaved, tritiated glycerol passing through the carbon filter is proportional to the activity of the MGL enzyme in a particular well/test condition.

Standard conditions for this assay combine 300 nM [Glycerol-1,3-³H]-oleoyl glycerol with human MGL from HeLa cells and test compounds for one hour, after which the reaction is filtered through activated carbon and tritium is measured in the flow through. The test compound concentration in screening mode is 10 uM, while the highest compound concentration in IC₅₀ assays is determined empirically. MGL is the predominant hydrolase in HeLa cells/cell homogenates.

NT means not tested.
